They can alter the timing of the affected information. High pass filters can introduce unwanted phase shifting in transient material. The second reason brings us to an issue worth highlighting: Reining in conflicting frequencies from less important elements will greatly help. Instead, try shaping individual instruments with subtle cuts to make space for the kick and bass, as these two instruments have arguably the most important role in the low mids, and as such, should be heard with clarity.

Pro Tip: It might be tempting to apply a drastic global filter on an entire submix to keep unwanted frequencies from afflicting the low mids-but this approach carries two huge problems.įirst, doing so takes away too much energy in too blunt a manner-like hammering a screw into a wall instead of using a drill. It's one of the more problematic areas in a mix, since the higher harmonics of kicks and lower harmonics of synths, guitars, and much more all converge here, which leaves you with a mix that sounds bloated and tired. This issue often appears in the low mid range, between 150–350 Hz, which is what gives music its heft and power. If the kick and bass elements in your mix sound good on their own but struggle to make an impact in the context of the mix, this can be a sign you need to take away the lows present in other instruments. Shape the low end using a high pass filter-with care So anyone who wants to experiment with the effects of different ways to upsample might find sox a good place to start.3. Indeed IIRC 'sox' lets the user define the resampling process as they choose. A compentent programmer could port them if they wanted, but I assume similar ones are available. So as they stand, they won't work on other OSs. But note that these demos were written to run on the RISC OS operating system.

The programs with source code are provided. I did do some demo programs on this a while ago using x2 upsampling for simplicity.

The main advantage of having computer software do the re/up-sampling is that - if you know what you're doing - it gives you the ability to define, check, and choose how the process is done, and get the reconstruction filtering *you* prefer. However if you've bought a *good* DAC then it should itself carry out high-quality rate conversions when needed, and render the audio well *without* the computer host having to fiddle with the samples first. (And the same code is used elsewhere.) Similarly some computer mixers can do this well *if* the system is set up accordingly and can do it in a timely fashion. The methods used by the 'sox' utility are an example. Yes, some upsampling in software can work very well. So the real problem is how well it is being done, and the details of the process used. Particularly when the ratio of the sample rates isn't a simple N:1. Not sure what but the result isn't nice.Īny flaws at all in the rendition coupled with that brightness is going to hurt the ears.Ĭlick to expand.That would be a very crude and basic way to 'upsample'. Apart from up-sampling from 44 to 48 it's doing something else.

Playing anything through our Apple TV box sounds unpleasantly bright and over-enthusiastic and often unlistenable and that can only manage 16/48, I think. My impression is that Apple kit tends towards brightness, unpleasantly so.

It's OK blasted out of the PC speakers (Creative Pro ones) but would be hilarious played through decent speakers. OK, it's better than the one in my iPhone but it's not great. I wait for someone to express incredulity at describing 24/96 as low-res. I wonder if it's a 'flaw' or whether the music is being flattered by low res (16/44, 24/96) playback. You can hear the 24 bits versus 16, but the 96 wasn't much of a step up - the 192 was. I could hear a stack of differences between resolutions, but one of the most obvious was in the handling of HF detail and how that interacts with the rest of the frequency range.Īt 192 I found the top end to be quite precise and flowing in a way that nothing below that resolution could manage, even 24/96 which I didn't think was that much better than 16/44. But then it's probably £20 of DAC tech at best. A certain 'fizzy' quality even when playing 24/192. By which I mean that it has certain audible artefacts most notable at the top end. I have a PC with a sound card capable of playing 24/192 and have the setting set to 24/192. I spent some time with a Meridan Explorer 2 DAC listening to the differences between the above quality levels. Just a few observations from someone who can, seemingly uniquely (and I don't believe that for a moment) tell the difference between 16/44 and 24/192.
